Writing, Reading, and Speaking Center Logo

Welcome to the appointment schedule for the Grinnell College Writing, Reading, and Speaking Center! Log in to make an appointment or to change or cancel an existing appointment. Appointments can be changed or cancelled up to two hours before the appointment begins.

Current students can make up to two appointments per week with a maximum of 20 appointments per semester. Alumni are allowed up to 3 appointments per semester; however, in the final two weeks of the semester and during final exams week, all appointments are reserved for current students.


We now have drop-in hours with student Writing Mentors in Kistle Library and the HSSC atrium on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. We'll add Wednesday evenings in Burling in the two weeks before Fall Break. (For details, log in to the Writing Center schedule.) Student Writing Mentors will meet with as many as people as possible during these times. Because these are drop-in sessions, they cannot be reserved in advance. Visit the Writing Mentor's location during drop-in hours, look for the table-top sign that says "Writing Mentor," and sign in with the Writing Mentor. The Mentors will meet with people in the order that they sign up.


If you are ill, please make an online rather than in-person appointment. If you have already made an in-person appointment, you can change it to online: click on the existing appointment, then use the "Edit Appointment" button at the bottom of the appointment information window to make changes.


We are located in HSSC C1410; follow the signs from the south wing of the HSSC, or come in the front door of the Carnegie building from Park Street.
